The EU's OpenAIRE project aims to create infrastructure for open access research in Europe. It will develop a portal for making publications openly accessible and an orphan repository for researchers without institutional repositories. It also supports national helpdesks and outreach on open access policies. In Norway, repositories will harvest metadata and full texts from the CRIStin database to feed into the OpenAIRE portal. While systems are still being implemented, open access policies aim to maximize the impact and return on investment of publicly funded research across Europe.

Why an OA Pilot in FP7
Through FP7, the Commission is investing, between
2007 and 2013, over € 50 billion in research and
expects to get the best possible return on this
investment.
The open access pilot […] will test, until the end of
FP7, giving open access to research publications
resulting from EU-funded research as a possible
model for broader application under the next
research programme, and also in the Member
States.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/5thmunin-130927010122-phpapp02/85/OpenAIRE-presentation-in-5th-Munin-Conf-on-Scientific-Publishing-5-320.jpg)

Special Clause 39
In addition to Article II.30.4, beneficiaries shall deposit an
electronic copy of the published version or the final
manuscript accepted for publication of a scientific
publication […] published before or after the final report in
an institutional or subject-based repository at the moment
of publication.
Beneficiaries are required to make their best efforts to
ensure that this electronic copy becomes freely and
electronically available to anyone through this repository:
– immediately if the scientific publication is published
"open access", i.e. if an electronic version is also
available free of charge via the publisher, or
– within [X1] months of publication.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/5thmunin-130927010122-phpapp02/85/OpenAIRE-presentation-in-5th-Munin-Conf-on-Scientific-Publishing-7-320.jpg)

”Best effort”
“Best effort” formulation strongly encourages researchers and
publishers to comply while guaranteeing scientific and academic
freedom
Details to researchers on how to fulfill ‘best effort’ to be provided in FP7
IPR Guidelines
Making "best efforts":
– Seeking information on publishing models and copyright/licensing
policies of the journal(s) to which authors plan to submit […]
– If publishers' policies do not allow compliance with grant
agreement, authors should negotiate an amendment or request an
authorisation to self-archive within the specific embargo period
– If negotiations are unsuccessful, researchers should consider
submitting to another journal
– If they cannot comply with special clause, beneficiaries should
inform the Commission and provide publisher’s letter of refusal](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/5thmunin-130927010122-phpapp02/85/OpenAIRE-presentation-in-5th-Munin-Conf-on-Scientific-Publishing-8-320.jpg)

The contracts
Many publishers require authors to sign an agreement by
which authors transfer their copyrights to publishers and
thereby exclude publication elsewhere. This type of
agreement may also limit authors' rights to deposit articles
into openly accessible repositories (open archives) upon
publication.
The obligations defined in the EC grant agreement are not
affected by any subsequent publication (or other)
agreement […]. It is the participants' responsibility to
ensure that any subsequent agreement they might enter
into with a publisher does not conflict with the EC grant
agreement provisions](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/5thmunin-130927010122-phpapp02/85/OpenAIRE-presentation-in-5th-Munin-Conf-on-Scientific-Publishing-9-320.jpg)

- 2. 5th Munin Conference Tromsø 25th November 20102 EU and Open Access As all research and innovation builds on earlier achievements, an efficient system for broad dissemination of and access to research publications and raw data can accelerate scientific progress. This in turn is essential for Europe's ability to innovate, to enhance its economic performance and improve its capacity to compete through knowledge on a global scale. Open access can boost the visibility of European research, give researchers access to a wider body of research literature that can be built upon for future developments, and offer small and medium sized enterprises access to the latest quality research for exploitation which will speed up commercialisation and innovation. Developing nations and institutions who cannot afford costly journal subscriptions can use open access to provide equal learning opportunities to their researchers, thereby increasing the possibility for new scientific discoveries. By helping researchers to disseminate their research results to the broadest possible audience, open access generates a broader scientific debate and can trigger the interest of the wider public and of industry. This can in turn open new avenues to the commercialisation of research results, especially for taking them beyond national borders.
